    Paddy McCaddy & The Caddilacs is set to play The Joiners for the first of two dates across September, the second being alongside The Pearl Harts and Valensole.


    Owen Hackett is a singer/songwriter from Southampton. Joined by his new backing band, The Bandoliers, Hackett sets to wow  The Joiners for the second time since he released his 3rd EP, just a week ago.

    The track ‘Free’ from said ‘Moving Fast’ EP was reviewed by Stuart Walker from Gigs and Bands where he said:

    “Free reminds a little of Morriseys’ Boxers before morphing more towards Dylan with a tiny smidgeon of Oasis’ Whatever featuring Hacketts’ guitar up front and centre.”


    All the way from Bournemouth, Bird Shoes is a post-punk duo comprising of members Robin Clark (Vocals and Guitar) and James Gordelier (Drums).

    ‘Sarcastic, Noisy post-punk for a modern generation of jokers. With a prominent ‘down to earth’ approach, Bird Shoes lyrics echo personal experiences with a ‘tongue in cheek’ attitude. A play with everyday themes is a sarcastic take-down on modern society. Taking aim at the monotony of the general public’s day-to-day existence. Bird Shoes puts life back into the post-punk band of yesteryear with new eyes and a slick approach.’
